==History==
Dr. A. H. Collins, the town namesake, established a post office on May 28, 1897. Henry P. Cook was the first postmaster.<ref>"Early Post Offices of Oklahoma." ''Chronicles of Oklahoma''. Volume 6, No. 3. September, 1928. Foreman, Grant.  Retrieved September 20, 2014.</ref> Then it became known as either Collins or Collins Post Office. The name officially became Collinsville by June 1898 and it incorporated as a city in April 1899. The population in 1900 was 376.<ref name="EOHC-Collinsville">[http://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=CO029 Ted W. Wright, "Collinsville."  ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'']</ref>

The [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe]], though its [[Kansas, Oklahoma Central and Southwestern Railway]] subsidiary,  routed its line from [[Kansas]] to [[Owasso, Oklahoma|Owasso]], approximately one mile west of Collinsville in 1899, to avoid crossing an additional stream. An earlier community, known as Eli, had developed southeast but moved all their buildings closer to the railroad.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cdm15020.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p16063coll1/id/14859|title=Tulsa County Historic Sites :: TULSA AND OKLAHOMA HISTORY COLLECTION|website=cdm15020.contentdm.oclc.org|access-date=2019-12-11|archive-date=2019-12-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191211205818/http://cdm15020.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p16063coll1/id/14859|url-status=dead}}</ref> The buildings were moved on rollers in 1899 and 1900.<ref name="EOHC-Collinsville"/>

Collinsville originally was located in Rogers County. In 1918, the residents voted to be annexed by Tulsa County, in order to be nearer a county seat. It was only {{convert|20|mi|km}} north of Tulsa.<ref name="EOHC-Collinsville"/>
 
An abundant supply of sulfur-free coal lay near the surface, which attracted fifteen hundred to two thousand miners. Oil and gas production and [[zinc smelting]] boomed briefly during the first two decades of the 20th century. The local population swelled to around eight thousand people. But the population swiftly declined as these businesses ceased. By 1930, there were 2,249 residents. Since the 1920s, the economy has been based primarily on agriculture. Several dairies are located in Collinsville, many delivering products to Tulsa. In 1948, Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical University (now [[Oklahoma State University]]) named Collinsville "the Dairy Capital of Oklahoma."<ref name="EOHC-Collinsville"/>
